Airbrush Basics: What You Need To Know!!

These airbrush basics are intended to help you learn how to master your airbrush -but let's get one thing straight...

You do not have to master the basics before you start trying the projects!!

While learning the very basics is important, and while learning them will help you in your artwork, they are not prerequisites to the exciting stuff that you want to do - whether that be fine art or body art.

I am a firm believer that you learn more from tackling a project and learning from your mistakes than you do from going over and over the basic lessons - just don't be disappointed with the project results - remember, you are just learning.

So... below are a whole bunch of links to lessons and information that every beginner needs to know.

Give all the basics a whirl, but if you get bored or frustrated with those - move on to a project and enjoy the ride!
